What is HIIT?

HIIT, or High-Intensity Interval Training, is a cardiovascular exercise method involving short bursts of highly intense activity followed by periods of less intense activity or rest. HIIT is also a great option if you are looking for fat-loss workouts or to improve your fitness level.

HIIT has many benefits, including fat loss, increased metabolism, and improved heart health. In addition, this form of exercise can be done with any activity, including running, swimming, biking, and even bodyweight exercises.

Can a 10-minute daily workout be effective?
